The Washington Commanders were talking to other teams about potentially trading down, but they weren’t making a deal if the highest player on their board was still available. Josh Conerly Jr was that guy and he’s now the newest member of the Commanders. General manager Adam Peters said the team fell in love with him as they got to know him as a person and his play on the field. This was a building-wide decision, and Conerly will get a chance to compete for a spot on the offensive line, just not LT which is locked down by Laremy Tunsil after last month’s trade.
